3.1.2 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 11: Configure Virtual Hosts 150

Add or Modify a Virtual Host

To add or update a virtual host, select the appropriate option:

• To add a new virtual host, select Matrix > Virtual Host > Add Virtual

Host or click the V-Host icon on the toolbar. Then configure the virtual

host on the Add Virtual Host window.

• To update an existing virtual host, select that virtual host on either the

Server or Virtual Hosts window, right-click, and select Properties.

Then make your changes on the Virtual Host Properties window.

Virtual Host: Type a hostname or an IP address for the virtual host.

Application name: An “application” provides a way to group virtual

hosts and related service and device monitors on the Applications tab. All

of the Matrix Server resources associated with the application can then be

treated as a unit. You can specify a new application name, select an

existing application name, or leave this field blank. However, if you do

not assign a name, Matrix Server will use the IP address for the virtual

host as the application name.
